# Overview  
  
Established in 2022 by Praneet Sinha and Hevar Abrihem, MoonGate aims to act as a bridge between [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) wallets and the [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) blockchain. It aims to enable users to access [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) [DApps](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi) and [DeFi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi) within the [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) environment without necessitating the creation of new wallets.  
  
MoonGate supports various EVM networks and typically charges approximately 0.3% transaction fees. Utilizing Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology, it strives to enhance asset security. Key features include an in-app [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum)-[Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) bridge and seamless token swapping. MoonGate aims to facilitate cross-chain liquidity and efficient asset management, potentially marking a significant milestone for [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana).[\[1\]](#cite-id-3o5jm5a94z)[\[2\]](#cite-id-ee2yk3p65co)[\[3\]](#cite-id-5a86zvlfekq)[\[4\]](#cite-id-5gjga8cw9z8)  
  
# Integration  
  
## Full SDK Integration  
  
MoonGate's full SDK simplifies the integration for developers incorporating [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) users into [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) [DApps](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-application). Compatibility with the [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) Labs Wallet adapter and React-based projects is recommended for optimal performance. Alternatively, developers using custom wallet adapters can receive personalized integration assistance by consulting MoonGate's staff on Discord.[\[5\]](#cite-id-zrpheonur4c)

## Wallet Adapter Integration  
  
MoonGate's wallet adapter integration aims to simplify the process of incorporating [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) users into [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) [DApps](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-application) in a different way. Developers are encouraged to ensure smooth integration by implementing the [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) Labs Wallet adapter within their [DApp](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-application). For those exploring alternative integration stacks or utilizing custom wallet adapters, consultation with MoonGate's staff on Discord is advised for personalized support.[\[6\]](#cite-id-bkv1qsj5hlw)

# MoonGate x Silence Laboratories  
  
In December 2023, MoonGate formed a partnership with Silence Laboratories with the goal of bolstering asset security for [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) [DApp](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-application) users. MoonGate provides developer-friendly SDKs to facilitate smoother transactions between [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) and [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana). Users can link their [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) wallet to [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) through MoonGate, establishing a [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) wallet in the process.  
  
Silence Laboratories contributes cryptographic libraries for decentralized signatures to enhance security while maintaining usability. This collaboration aims to implement a security protocol where users' private keys are stored as "shards" across two nodes, ensuring user ownership and minimizing potential points of failure.[\[7\]](#cite-id-8wvh8c8yavq)
